[quote=Anonymous]Help me - should we or shouldn’t we try since it’s free? Is this just marketing or a type of recruitment?

My kid is a NMSF and also National Hispanic Recognition Scholar. 1500 SAT split down the middle with 4.1 WGPA. Not FGLI

He is getting flooded with emails from schools offering to waive app fees including Northwestern, Case Western, and NEU.

We are chasing merit so these schools weren’t on our list as our HHI is $200k. We were focused on full ride options from Alabama, Oklahoma, USF, UT Dallas plus Va Tech and GMU.

He’s currently interested in a humanities major such as English but may pivot to business. Very average ECs but has a leadership role as president of a student club and runs an out of school club as well.

Should he still apply to these other schools? They are great schools and much more prestigious than the full ride options on our current list.  He could get it done this weekend but seems pointless to do so if it’s out of range financially.

[i]Example from Case Western:

I was hoping to have received your application already because I'd like to consider you for admission to Case Western Reserve University. You still have time to submit your Common App or the Coalition with Scoir before the November 1 deadline for Early Action and Early Decision I.

Because I want to make applying easier for you, I've waived your application fee for either application. Plus, Case Western Reserve University has a test-optional policy, so you are not required to submit test scores.

Additionally, supplemental materials (Secondary School Report, transcript[s] and recommendations) can come at a later date, after you submit your application.[/i]
